Miriam wants politicians to pass IQ test
« on: January 18, 2011, 03:01:31 AM »

MANILA -- If it were up to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, candidates for any public position will have to pass an IQ test before running for office.

At a speech at the Philippine National Police headquarters Monday, Santiago said the 1987 Constitution should be changed to raise the standards for public officials.

At present, the constitution only requires candidates to be able to read and write. This was at odds with a law that makes a college degree a requirement for candidates to the police force, the lawmaker added.

She said chiefs of police must be required to have postgraduate degrees before being promoted, while dubbing that the current situation as "absurd".

"First, we must weed out the idiots. Then, we should weed out those who do not have a college degree. The world has changed, and leaders are required to possess analytical and critical faculties," she pointed out.

She will not pass the normal IQ test anyway?

Isn't the demarcation of insanity and genius IQ's is just as thick as a thread line? How about a "common sense test."? Am sure 100% shall fail.

He he, I recall her statement while riding the elevator in Congress: "There’s no intelligent life down here. Beam me up, Scotty.”

EQ (emotional quotient) is more important than IQ.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Its not just the elected politicians, even the electing polity should strive to earn a bit of EQ and IQ.
